What do you get when the weather starts to turn cold? A convertible of course! We saw this little gem, and I've always liked this body style, so now I'm driving a 2008 Saturn Sky to work every day.
I needed to fix a few things, and she does have some high mileage, but oh what fun it is to drive! So far, I have rewired the reverse light, fabricated a replacement panel for the broken cup holder, fixed the glove box and adjusted the front fender so it stops hitting the passenger door when you open it. The previous owner was a smoker, but a week of cleaning and air fresheners has really helped with the smell. I have ordered two new wheels, as one of them is bent (although I can't feel it) and another has some curb rash. They should arrive in a few days. My plan is to enjoy the little roadster, probably fix up the little dings and dents, and maybe paint it this spring. Who knows, if the power train ever gives up, you never know if a LS might find its way under the hood.
It's been sooooo long since I last blogged, I could not even remember my password to log into my site. Let's see, where do we start. Last June, I wanted to see if I could still ride, so I picked up another Buell. She was a 1996 Buell S1 Lightning with the 1203 cc Harley engine, clip-ons and custom rear sets. I had some summer fun, but I simply could not get past the wreck of 2012. I had few more close calls with a some of NJ's worst drivers again, and then called it quits.
As time would have it, Zach was also ready to let his 1991 S-10 Blazer go, and to move on to something newer and more reliable. We decided to sell both the Buell and Blazer, and pool the funds together to get him a Honda. The guy who bought the Buell (Rich from Miami) was also selling his late mother's 1998 Honda Prelude, so we were able to make a sweet deal. Zach's new ride has a whopping 58k miles, and the interior is like brand new! I'll have to post some pics of it when we get a chance.
